I always eat a lot of candy at CPALs. The board keeps the candy bucket stocked and I just can never help myself. Tonight they also gave us cookies and promised us ice cream for next time. I swear I talked about food for half the time tonight.  The Honduran guy I tutor was like, “Comes mucho pero no eres gorda. Corres?” I told him no and he just shook his head and said he has to run everyday to keep from getting fat.

I felt a tiny bit triumphant and oddly validated in my wintertime running hiatus.
